Waiting: Quotations from Burning Words

They also serve who only stand and wait. Let me rejoice in the light which Thou hast imparted; let me serve Thee with active zeal, humbled confidence, and wait with patient expectation for the time in which the soul which Thou receivest shall be satisfied with knowledge.— SAMUEL JOHNSON

We are waiting, Master, waiting, Wayworn, pressed with toils and strife ; Waiting, hoping, watching, praying, Till we reach the gates of life.— RAY PALMER

Be patient, my friends; time rolls rapidly away; our longing has its end. The hour will strike, who knows how soon?when the maternal lap of everlasting Love shall be opened to us, and the full peace of God breathe around us from the palmy summits of Eden. Only waiting till the shadows Are a little longer grown, Only waiting till the glimmer— KRUMMACHER

Of the day's last beam is flown. Then from out the gathered darkness, Holy, deathless stars shall rise, By whose light my soul shall gladly Tread its pathway to the skies. M Waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
